My boys just got back from a 3900 mile trip to the Keys......they
averaged 28 MPG with a roof top luggage carrier.......I'm impressed...in
the 86 4KCSQ..........!!!!!!  Only problem they had was a funky
clutch......and the cold weather on their return.......they are shell
shocked......

I guess on Daytona Beach they were quite unique with all the chopped and
lowered cars with low profile tires....all getting stuck.....they are in
the Q, with the Hakka Nokias.....dump it into 4 wheel and cruise at 60
mph down the beach in and out of the stuck vehicles.....they said it was
most awesome.......people were like -- WHAT?????---How'd you do that????
